Sometimes the same old, same old restaurant celebrations can get a little, well, stale. No matter how beautiful the decor in a restaurant, it is inherently static – your view out the window generally doesn't change all that much during the meal. That couldn't be less true when you take a dinner cruise, though! If you are looking for an experience that combines the best of a sunset sail with a scrumptious buffet dinner, head to Lake Sunapee – we have just the tour for you.
The MV Kearsarge Restaurant Ship is a delightfully old-fashioned vessel, built to model the MV Kearsarge steamship that once sailed New Hampshire waters. It's designed for cruising comfort and perfect for leisurely dinner outings.
Step inside and you'll find a beautiful dining room where every seat is the best seat in the house. Just take a look at all of those windows!
As you head out on your two-hour voyage, you'll enjoy great views of the lovely homes that line the lakeshore. The captain will narrate your experience, filling you in on the history and legends of Sunapee.
While aboard you'll enjoy a scrumptious buffet diner, with treats including roast beef, pulled pork, and vegetarian options.
Of course, there's also a bar on board for those who choose to imbibe.
The best part comes after dinner, when the sun gradually sinks into the horizon. You'll definitely want to be prepared to take plenty of pictures!
There's something just unbelievably stunning about lake sunsets – if the weather cooperates, you are in for a real treat.
The ship is also a popular spot for weddings – and we can see why! Can you imagine a more lovely Granite State venue?
Dinner cruises on the MV Kearsarge cost $40.99 per adult and $30.99 per child under 12. The ship runs from May-October, so start planning now! You can view schedules and book tickets on the Sunapee Cruises website.
